Abbas: Cancel Building or Peace Talks Over

Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas delivered an ultimatum Tuesday, saying that unless Israel cancels tenders announced earlier Tuesday on 20,000 new homes in Judea and Samaria he would end the ongoing peace talks.
PA negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP that he had been given the job of passing the ultimatum to the Arab League as well as the US, EU, Russia, and UN.
